The Rebellious Princess - C388
Qin Tianxiong wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at his father. Qin Feng’s stone-like carving was filled with irrepressible anger and pain. He had never seen his father so angry before.
In his mind, his father always had a face as unchanging as a rock. It was intimidating, and no matter how big the problem was, it would never show anything.
He quickly got up from the ground and knelt down, “Your son deserves to die a thousand times, father, please calm your anger.”
“Tell me, what have you done?”
Qin Tianxiong tightly shut his mouth, not willing to open it no matter how much blood flowed from it. His heart felt dull pain, but he refused to speak.
“Zheng …”
With a clang, Qin Feng’s treasured sword was unsheathed and stabbed towards Qin Tianxiong.
“Little bastard, today, I will kill you and exterminate the traitors for my great health. I will clean up the mess of my Qin family!”
“Father!”
Qin Tianxiong cried out in a low voice, but he did not dodge. He understood that his father knew everything that he had done. He smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, waiting for his father’s sword to stab into his chest.
There was no movement for a long time.
“Weng weng weng …”
The low hum of the sword echoed in his ears, but he did not hear that sword.
Qin Tianxiong opened his eyes as Qin Feng’s body trembled slightly. He gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand and the edge of his sword with the other. A dark red color gushed out of his palm and dripped to the ground.
“Father, Lord Father …”
Qin Tianxiong turned pale with fright as he hurriedly crawled towards Qin Feng. He opened his father’s hands, revealing a deep wound in them.
He quickly pulled the cloth off his shirt, entwined the scar on his father’s palm, and squeezed his father’s hand tightly.
“Lord Father, your son deserves to die ten thousand times for being unfilial. Please don’t hurt your body like this, Lord Father. Your son is willing to accept whatever punishment your father wishes to punish me with, I only hope that your father will calm his anger. ”
“Bastard! Little bastard! How dare you do this!”
“Yes, this is all your son’s fault. Please calm your anger, father. Your son will let your father punish you. I beg your father to let your son bandage your wounds.”
He knew that every time his father’s treasured sword was unsheathed, it would drink blood and return home. Seeing that his father could not bear to hurt him, he would rather injure himself than injure Qin Feng, Qin Tianxiong felt both ashamed and heartbroken.
Qin Tianxiong placed the treasured sword on the table and took the medicine to bandage his palm. He kneeled in front of Qin Feng with a face full of shame, drying the blood on Qin Feng’s palm and carefully bandaging it.
“Bang bang …”
Qin Tianxiong retreated two steps and deeply kowtowed, letting out a loud bang.
“Lord Father, this is all your son’s fault. Please punish him, Lord Father. Your son will be ashamed of his father.”
“The person you’re ashamed of isn’t your father, but your father, the Emperor.”
“Yes, your son deserves to die tens of thousands of times. He should have died, but he didn’t dare to bother Lord Father. In order to harm Lord Father for being unfilial, your son deserves to die. Right now, before Lord Father’s eyes, kill yourself and apologize.”
Qin Tianxiong grabbed the treasured sword on the table and was about to slit his throat with the sword.
Qin Feng kicked Qin Tianxiong’s elbow. His elbow went numb as the treasured sword fell to the ground.
“Insolent animal, you actually dare to do this.”
Yet another kick sent Qin Tianxiong flying several feet away. Qin Feng could not suppress the anger and lament in his heart. This was his son, his only son. Two of his three sons had died in battle, and he was the only son left.
“Father, please calm your anger. Your child knows his wrongs, and your child is unfilial. Father, please severely punish your child. I just hope that Father will not be angered to death.”
Qin Tienxiong crawled to Qin Feng’s feet, grabbed Qin Tienxiong’s feet and crawled onto the ground crying, “Your son deserves to die. If you anger your father to death, your son will never be able to redeem himself.”
Qin Feng suppressed the anger in his heart. In front of his only son, even though he was angry at his unfilial son, he still felt pity for him.
“Xiong’er, how dare you do such an outrageous thing. Do you know what punishment you will be punished for doing so?”
“Your son …”
Qin Tianxiong deeply prostrated himself on the ground. At this moment, facing Qin Feng, he understood what he had done. If his majesty were to find out and let others know, what kind of disaster it would bring to the Qin family.
For the first time, he felt a deep fear from the bottom of his heart. He could die, but he could not implicate the Qin family.
“You are not a single person. Your actions and actions represent the Qin family and represent the greater good. You are the official of the great karma, the vanguard of the divine order, the only son of the Qin family. Where would the great karma be if you did this? Where is the Qin family located? ”
Qin Tianxiong kowtowed without a word. It turned out that what he had done had never been hidden from his father.
“Your son understands his guilt. If the Emperor finds out, your son is willing to shoulder all the blame.”
“Bastard!”
Qin Feng slapped the table heavily and said in pain: “You think that just because you are like this, you can put the Qin family out of the way? For a woman, what is the use of you betraying the great good, betraying the Emperor, and betraying the Qin family? ”
A chilling aura gushed out from Qin Feng’s body. He lowered his head to look at his only son, his hands slightly trembling.
He didn’t dare to hope that this matter would be hidden from the emperor. He didn’t know much about the emperor, but since the time the emperor had ascended the throne, he had only seen him twice. He knew that the emperor’s scheming was so deep that no one could see through it.
“The hundreds of thousands of criminals who were exiled to the north have been like this ever since the emperor ascended to the throne. Who knows how many of these people are his trusted aides and spies? Even in the northern border’s army, there would be spies from the Emperor. Perhaps they had already made arrangements before the Emperor ascended the throne. Do you think that the matters of the north can be kept from the Emperor? ”
Qin Tianxiong raised his head and doubtfully said, “The Emperor has only succeeded the throne for three or four years. His father has always presided over the northern border. Even if the Emperor has been exiled for hundreds of thousands of convicts, it would still be very difficult for him to find out about the secrets and important matters of the northern border.”
“Xiong’er, you are too inexperienced. You don’t understand your majesty. The Emperor is wise and wise, and he is the Emperor with the most accomplishments in the past few generations of my great karma. The Emperor knows much more about the northern border than you think. Nothing in the northern border, including the actions of my father and son, can escape the eyes of the Emperor. ”
Qin Feng’s mouth was full of bitterness. If this matter could be kept a secret, how could he be willing to expose it? At most, he would teach his son a lesson in private and keep Qin Tianxiong by his side to guard him. However, he understood that nothing could be hidden from the emperor.
Qin Tianxiong’s face immediately turned deathly pale. He understood what would happen if the emperor knew what he had done.
His execution was nothing, but because of this, the Qin family would be implicated, and their heroic reputation for several lifetimes would be lost.
“Father …”
Qin Feng’s countenance turned heavy, he couldn’t bear to see Qin Wentian’s death. Only with Qin Tianxiong’s death would he be able to resolve this matter.
